BicolExpress New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 08/25/2024 1:22 pm I received a ton of coins from my grandfather after his death and noticed all the coins are in this protective cardboard sleeve. I don't understand why, when they strike me as a face value coin. After searching rigorously on the internet I came across "toning". Is that what I have here on these dimes and again I would say they are still worth face value cause they ain't pretty. Bottomline, just wondering why would someone cardboard every coin in their inventory when I believe they are worth only face value, and are the looks of this "tone" valuable to some collectors, cause I have a lot? . Thank you my friends for the insight of coin collecting. * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. It's very important to have in the title. * Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19125 Posts	Posted 08/25/2024 1:38 pm Given the single photo posted, I think were looking at a thin film of crud--perhaps dried glue or soda. That, in my opinion, is not toning. 100% acetone would likely eliminate or reduce that stuff. Why do collectors place coins in 2x2 flips? I never question what people want to collect and what they choose to place a piece into. Coin collecting is a highly personal pursuit. Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 08/25/2024 4:59 pm As to why someone keeps what they do with no notes left behind. I can only speak for myself. It interest me at the time. Did he 2x2 it because of the toning/stain? Or did something else catch his eye on the obverse? Maybe something else on the reverse or edge that were not seeing? Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
